Fig. 5From: Mating precedes selective immune priming which is maintained throughout bumblebee queen diapauseSummary overview of protein expression profiles in relation to life stage and colony life cycle. Broad trends in the abundance of protein categories in unmated and mated queens prior to (green), during (blue) and after (red) diapause. Proteins associated with the immune system, cuticle, storage and reproduction, regulation and stress displayed characteristic expression profiles across diapause suggestive in roles in the preparation for, maintenance of and recovery from diapause. L and H represent low and high relative protein abundances, respectivelyBack to article page
